OPERATIVE MEMO

SUBJECT: PT "CRNI"

On 21/SEP/1995 at the hour of 11:00 I had an accidental meeting
with Snežana Petrovska, wife of PT "Crni", at which we began a
conversation concerning the current condition in the textile production
industry in the Republic, and with that also regarding their knitting company
which is registered as "Snežana i Sinovi" – a textile product
manufacturing and trading company. The same [Petrovska], regarding that [the
state of her enterprise] said in the last year-and-a-half, but especially in
this current year, the working conditions had gotten so difficult, that they
were unable to survive [as a business], because of which they shut down the
manufactory. They had laid-off all of their employees; they didn’t have the capability
to pay off some of the personal incomes, for which they [the Petrovskis] were
being sued by the former employees. They have large receivables, but they also
have substantial debts. Additionally, the mushroom farm for two years now had no
production because of a shortage of "substrate grow medium"; they
invested quite substantial funds for the construction and equipment of the
caverns, but got no income out of the business yet. Work had become very
strenuous for PT "Crni", while his health was in an impaired condition.
The same [Petrovska] expressed major concern about his [Petrovski's] health
condition considering the problems which we had to materialize, as a result of
which he could not sleep at night. Ha has not traveled out of the region for
more than ten months because of fear not to {Remainder of page missing}

He [Petrovski] had been advised to avoid physiological and
physical stress, but since there was no one to take over the tasks which he
normally performed, he is forced to still keep working very hard, and by doing
that he is taking major risks with his health. Because the same [Petrovska] was
in a hurry, she left, but before she left, she invited me to, when I have the
time, stop by at their restaurant "Baba Cana", to which I accepted
the invitation and promised to stop by.

OPINION OF THE OPERATIONAL WORKER:

The findings and information which were presented to us by
Snežana during the short conversation, although general, we find them interesting,
because in short, they present the economic and the health condition of PT
"Crni". No interest was shown regarding PT "Crni" by us
[the royal "us"], because of the fear that she might discover our
interest for him [Petrovski], because I assume that the same [Petrovska] would convey
the information to him.
